No matter how hard i try to understand these factors together and these interlocking circle, that is still a question that is very hard for me to understand and accept. There is no way i can justify this, yes he experienced a toxic culture at the school, yes he had an influential friend, everything will take us a little closer to understanding but i dont think ill ever fully understand how it could happen.

Host in 1999 cover your son dylan and eric harris took the lives of 12 students and one teacher in high school and then their own and 24 others were wounded. A devastated those families that affected the whole nation. I think one of the questions people have is why did you decide to buy this book now, 17 years later . Guest well, probably because it took me that many years to try to understand it and feel that i was ready to write a book. There was much learning that had to go on the in my part and healing and i think it just took that long. Host it is a very powerful book. It covers such a range of emotions, grief and anger and fear.
